Battlespaces – Matthew Luke Publishing

The concept of a battlespace has evolved significantly in modern warfare, encompassing a multidimensional environment where military operations take place. Unlike traditional battlefields, battlespaces extend beyond physical terrains to include air, sea, space, cyberspace, and the electromagnetic spectrum. This comprehensive approach reflects the complexity of contemporary conflicts and the need for integrated strategies.

A battlespace is the operational environment in which military forces interact with adversaries, terrain, and other factors to achieve mission objectives. It is not confined to physical boundaries but includes intangible domains that impact operations and outcomes.

Justin Lindstrom, a ground intelligence officer with 3rd Intelligence Battalion, III MEF Information Group, explains the importance of intelligence for Battlespace Surveillance Company Field Exercise, on Camp Hansen, Okinawa, Japan, Aug. 13, 2021. Lindstrom is a Dallas, Texas native. Both METOC Platoon and Ground Sensor Platoon Marines utilized the exercise to evaluate training requirements and conducted force on force training evolutions.
